Love is like

It's like the ocean
calm and soothing
It's like the rain
soft and moving
It's like a fire
hot and steaming
It's like the sun
blazing and gleaming

It's like a knife
deadly and keen
It's like a lion
ferocious and mean
It's like a crime
sneaky and stealthy
It's like a pile of grease
slimy and unhealthy

But if it's with you
I'm sure I will be okay
If it was like a knife
I'd be with you anyway
So stay with me tonight
through the fire and crime
and turn out the lights
and promise you'll be mine
